Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child
4.0

You know the beauty of this series is that even if one tackled this in publishing order, it doesn’t necessarily follow a chronological order. I read somewhere that there is very little continuity bridging the books and truly, the majority can be read as stand alones. Admittedly, I’m wholly out of order here in preparation and anticipation for the second season of the TV show Reacher, and I wasn’t lost at all.
As you may surmise, it’s all about our protagonist Jack Reacher exacting justice, and this time around it’s very personal. Someone has been targeting his former teammates, and those remaining must band together to find the truth no matter, to avenge with swift justice in the only way they know how - with absolute no mercy.
Grounded in realism, the mystery was intriguing and took several turns. Always fascinating is the deductive reasoning and the hardcore instincts that Reacher brings to the table, giving him a huge advantage over his adversaries.
Yes, this is still dense in the details but less cumbersome than my last visit with this character. Just to lighten things up a bit, there’s a little hanky panky going on and well deserved brutal vigilante justice with a nice bonus payout that was just oh so satisfying!
